[Amiya cosplay] Double the Sweetness of the White Rabbit Crossover, Get Ready for Afternoon Tea

This Amiya White Rabbit crossover project is truly a dream come true. The blue-and-white checkered dress of this skin has a very high fidelity; when I got my hands on it, I carefully checked the stitching, and the first feeling upon wearing it was that the fabric is very crisp, not sagging limply against the body. The ruffles of the skirt and the rabbit silhouette print on the apron are aligned remarkably well. To recreate that fluffy feeling of the original artwork, I deliberately found a pair of naturally drooping rabbit ears with delicate hair texture. After putting them on, I slightly adjusted the angle and secured them with the blue bows on both sides, and the overall head proportion came together. In terms of makeup, to get close to Amiya's innocence, the eye makeup used a slightly drooping innocent-style technique, the circle lenses were chosen in bright blue, paired with a large area of blush, wanting to express that tipsy feeling of eating sweets in a candy house.

A lot of thought indeed went into the props. That giant "White Rabbit creamy candy" body pillow is custom-made; since it needs to have volume yet not be too soft, holding it to pose during the shoot was actually quite exhausting, and I kept adjusting how to hold it so the pattern would display most completely. That small crossbody bag has the same pattern, stuffed full of White Rabbit candies, allowing me to replenish some sugar during shooting breaks. The size and color of the simulated carrot were also chosen from several types, and I finally picked this one with a slight matte texture, which matches the overall artistic style better when held in hand, and the leaf portion was also intentionally chosen as a vibrant green to add a bit of vitality.

The shooting location was chosen as a cozy small kitchen with wooden tones, coupled with prepared baguettes, apples, and a basket, making the entire atmosphere feel like Amiya preparing a dessert afternoon tea. In front of the lens, I tried my best to think of Amiya's feeling—though usually working very hard, she occasionally shows a lively, little-girl side. For instance, holding up the skirt hem and jumping gently, or holding the huge candy pillow and leaning against the counter edge, as well as sitting by the windowsill holding a paper bag full of bread. Eye contact is very important; sometimes needing to look straight into the lens to express a bit of curiosity and anticipation, and sometimes lowering the head slightly to look at the candy tray, creating a vivid sense of stumbling upon it by chance.

Walking indoors wearing this outfit, the skirt hem's sweep is just right, paired with White stockings and dark brown small leather shoes, retaining the well-behaved nature of a maid outfit while adding a bit of Japanese fresh style. The reflections on the floor and countertop also need attention, avoiding reflections making the frame look cluttered. When shooting that action of sitting on the countertop with legs crossed, pay attention to the angle of the knees; turning slightly sideways can make the leg lines look better. Several poses sitting on the ground or sofa actually require core strength to keep the posture from collapsing; looking soft and fluffy, I was actually secretly exerting effort inside. Wearing platform leather shoes on my feet, stepping on the wooden countertop needs to be light-footed to avoid leaving scratches. This shoot prepared many creamy candies, resulting in the whole site filled with a sweet fragrance. Seeing the finished photos is truly delightful; the combination of White Rabbit and Amiya is double the cuteness, and trying this sweet everyday-life style which I rarely shoot is also a breakthrough for myself.
